I think the fault is more with historicists who have stubbornly failed to develop a good theory of historicity.

Jesus' death wasn't to free us from dying, but to free us from the fear of death. Jesus came to liberate us so that we could die up front and then live. Jesus Christ wants to take us to places where only dead men and women can go.

These virtues are the those of the Father, who forgives us always, and Our Lady, Our Mother, shares in these virtues too.

But what had lasting significance were not the miracles themselves but Jesus' love. Jesus raised his friend Lazarus from the dead, and a few years later, Lazarus died again.
